Cover the full user experience of web apps, legacy desktop software, and mobile interfaces alike from a single platform.

Streamlined Results & Integration

Connect with Jira, Jenkins, or TestRail to manage results and traceability inside your CI/CD pipeline.

The Power and Pain of Selenium WebDriver: Why Teams Need More

Selenium WebDriver is the backbone of UI test automation. It's flexible, widely adopted, and capable of handling complex workflows. But even simple tests require significant manual effort. Here’s what a typical test looks like:

This example uses Java, Selenium, Selenide, and TestNG to automate a basic workflow: navigating to Ranorex.com, entering a search term, submitting the query, selecting the correct article, and verifying the page loads. Oh, and don’t forget manually closing those cookie popups.

To keep the code maintainable, each UI view gets its own class. Web elements are defined, methods are written to interact with them, and tests import these classes to call the right actions. Search terms? Those are passed in via a manually created DataProvider.



But the real challenges start when you zoom in:

What UI Test Automation Looks Like Without Ranorex Studio

Brittle Selectors

Locating elements often means wrestling with messy, hard-to-maintain XPath or CSS selectors, like this one:
/html/body/div[2]/div/div/div/div/div[2]/table/tbody/tr[5]/td[5]
Make a small UI change, and your test breaks.
Here is an example of how messy creating manual element selectors can be

Shadow DOM Struggles

Even with unique IDs, elements nested in Shadow DOMs remain invisible to Selenium without extra code. In the screenshot below, the element is right there, but Selenium can’t see it.
